H96 Max+ Rockchip RK3328 Quad Core Android 8.1 4K TV Box

H96 Max+ TV Box Review

So we have seen lots of H96 models and today we have the H96 Max+ Rockchip RK3328 4K TV box. When I saw the specs on this I quickly ordered it, and yes I ordered this one for myself because free samples were not coming my way. I thought that seeing that this was the latest H96 model I assumed that it was going to be better that its previous models, but to my dismay I was wrong to assume so. The H96 Max RK3399 hexa core model remains the best out of them all. You will see the performance of this latest and why I am making this claim.

Android OS and UI

The operating system is Android 8.1 Oreo full version. The user interface is the same user interface used in all of the previous models. However, this model comes with no navigation bar or status bar for multitasking. There are already two firmware updates for this box and they haven’t included the nav bar and status bar.

Final thoughts

I am not to impressed with this model of the H96 Max+ seeing that a precedent has already been set in this TV box line. This box instead of going forward, took two steps back and found itself among the likes of cheap low performing Rockchip TV boxes.
